Swampfest retells history,
brings awareness to wetlands
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
KU Environs will be hosting
its fourth annual Swampfest
this Friday with students
from Haskell Indian Nations
University and the Wetlands
Preservation Organization
(WPO).
Despite the approved
construction of the South
Lawrence Trafficway, which
will divide the wetlands and
affect its climate, the event
will raise funds to support
the wetlands’ ecosystem
and diversity. The event will
also raise awareness about
the wetlands’ history and
cultural relevance to the
Native American population
in Lawrence. The funds raised
from an art auction will go
to support the WPO and the
Wakarusa Wetlands.
Aside from fundraising, there
will be live music performances
from five musicians and
groups, including Sharp 9, Joe
Schoonover and Friends, and
Ajay.

the wetlands, the event will

Storm chasers turn weather interests into risky hobby

When most people hear the
word “tornado,” their first
reaction is to duck and cover.
“
But for Michael Riedl, it means
going outside and watching
the action in person.
Before this past week, there
had only been 109 tornadoes
reported in 2014, an unusually
low number. At this time
in 2011 there had been 495
tornadoes recorded.
This past week alone there
have been 116 tornadoes
reported throughout the
Midwest, hitting Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Kansas and several
states in the South.
Riedl, a sophomore from El
Dorado, grew up watching the
Kansas skies, which initially
sparked his interest in storm
chasing.
“There’s so much that can
happen up there,” Riedl said.
He saw his first tornado
when he was in ninth grade,
and chased his first storm in

According to Mike Caron, a

which was often suppressed
during the early years of the
institution that is now Haskell
Indian Nations University.
“As long as there is a
continuation of people simply
refusing to stop talking about
the wetlands, their importance
doesn’t go away,” Caron said.
“The memory doesn’t go away.”
The wetlands were divided
amongst the University,
Haskell and Baker University,
high school.
“In high school, you’re so
busy all the time so it’s hard
to plan a chase very well,” said
Riedl. “Sometimes I would just
go around looking for them
locally.”
“It’s not the tornado that’s
dangerous. It’s what’s around
the tornado and what’s flying
through the air that’s the
dangerous part.”
DAVID RAHN
Associate professor
There are a variety of different
motivations for storm chasing.
Some chase professionally
and report to national and
local weather services when
a tornado actually touches
the ground so that proper
warnings can be given. Others
simply do it for the thrill and
the adrenaline rush.

Transportation.
According to Caron, one
of the main concerns that
the preservationists and
ecological advocates have

with the construction of the
South Lawrence Trafficway is
whether or not the highway
will provide safe passages for
the wildlife to access both
the north and south sides of
the wetlands, given that the
trafficway will divide the land.
Maintaining biodiversity and
providing a united ecological
climate on both sides of the
wetlands is also a concern for
environmental advocates.
professor of atmospheric
science, said that no matter
what the motivation may
be, it’s important to have
some prior knowledge before
placing yourself directly in the
path of a tornado.
“You don’t actually have to
get that close to the tornado
itself to be able to see it,”
Rahn said. “If you don’t know
what you are doing, or even
sometimes if you do, you can
find yourself in a bad place
stuck in the middle of the
storm.”
A successful storm chase
takes some planning first.
Chasers will watch the weather
radar for days in advance to
see if there is a potential for a
storm in the near future. Riedl
said that the best time to tell is
usually about four or five days
before.
Storm chasing is not
specifically taught at the
University, but students and

“What we’re trying to do
is bring that awareness to
the student body as well as

them together for one cause
so they can not only learn
about what’s going on, but be
a part of benefiting a cause
that truly needs more help
and assistance,” said Kyle

coordinator.
With this year being the
fourth annual Swampfest,
Environs Group Coordinator
Emma Donachie said the
event shows that KU Environs
and other KU students are still

and trying to do what they can
to preserve the wetlands.
“I think Swampfest is a
great opportunity for the two
universities to come together
and collaborate at an event in

said. “Not at one of the protests
or informational meetings, or
something with more tension.”

While storm chasing isn’t part of any meteorology course, it is a popular hobby among students and staff. Over
the past week there have been 116 tornadoes reported throughout the midwest.

STUDENT SENATE
Senate honors staff at
end-of-year banquet
After the Student Senate end-
of-year banquet, new committee
chairs were elected to all four
committees, including Jayhawkers
coalition members. Each
committee suspended an article in
the Senate Rules and Regulations
that prohibits senators who have
committed egregious violations
from holding committee chair
positions and executive office
positions.
While all members were still at
the banquet, Chief of Staff Tyler
Childress urged all committees
to suspend the article before
voting for committee positions.
All four committees suspended it
and allowed for members of the
disqualified Jayhawkers coalition
to be potential committee
chairs. Three members from the
Jayhawkers coalition were elected
as chairs and multiple others as
vice chairs and secretaries.
The banquet and following
committee meetings were one
of the last times that the 2013-
2014 Senate will be together
before they turn over the reins
to new leadership and senators.
The senators also met after the
banquet to elect new chairs for
the 2014-2015 committees. Next
week, both the current Senate and
newly elected Senate will meet for
joint Senate.
The event was a time for Student
Body President Marcus Tetwiler

to give thanks to everyone who
contributes to Student Senate and
reflect on the year.
“As a senior on the way out,
nostalgia, it surrounds me,”
Tetwiler said. “I’m a third
generation Jayhawk and to be
able to have represented you all
in meetings, in conversations with
administration as your student
body president, it’s a title that’s
taken me about a year to be
comfortable with because it does
have weight.”
Along with Tetwiler, every
member of the executive staff
spoke and gave a wrap-up of the
year. After the banquet, Senate
moved into the four separate
committees to elect new chairs,
vice chairs and secretaries.

Urmi Basu, the founder
of New Light, a community
development project in India
that provides education and
shelter to girls and women at
high risk of trafficking, gave a
lecture on the issue Wednesday
night at the Kansas Union
as part of the Jana Mackey
Distinguished Lecture Series.
The lecture focused on
the challenges of stopping
trafficking, the rehabilitation
of victims and strategies to
make progress on the issue.
The issue has been difficult
to combat, Basu said, and the
rapid development of social
media has brought a new
dimension to the issue.
“In this day, it is impossible
to see who the trafficker is,”
Basu said in her lecture. “This
has been a large change over
the last five to six years.”
Although it is commonly
thought that trafficking only
occurs in impoverished
countries, Basu said it can
happen anywhere at any time.
It is the second biggest crime
in the world, as humans are
kidnapped and traded for sex,
cheap labor or even organ

This week, 14 University
students were awarded
national scholarships for study
abroad, totaling more than
$50,000. These scholarships
are unique because they
are federally funded and
considered highly competitive,
said Melody Stratton, outreach
coordinator for the Office of
Study Abroad.
Stratton said the KU
Office of Study Abroad and
the Office of International
Programs provide more than
$500,000 in study abroad
scholarships. Most summer
session participants usually
receive around $500. Many
KU schools, such as the
schools of business and
engineering, also offer study
abroad scholarships. Last year,
the University awarded more
than 150 scholarships to those
studying abroad.
The recipient of the Boren
Award, Ashlie Koehn, a
junior from Burns, is an
environmental studies major
and will travel to Kyrgyzstan for
the 2014-2015 academic year.
She said she plans on studying
Russian and sustainable
development. Koehn is one of
165 undergraduate students
nationally who were awarded
the Boren Award. She received
$20,000 for the 2014-2015
academic year.
Recipients of the Critical
Language Scholarship, juniors
Garvey Burrows and Sally
Kagay, will study in Tajikistan
during the summer 2014
session. Graduate student
Katrina Lynn from also
received the scholarship.
Along with studying Russian
language and culture in Ufa,
a city south of Moscow in
Russia, Lynn plans on studying
herbalism and folk medicine,
the topics of her dissertation.
“I am completely honored to
receive this award,” Lynn said.
“This is a very competitive
national program and I plan to
bring the best of my abilities to
the fore to do it justice.”
Gilman Scholarship
recipients include sophomores
Gabriel Alaniz from Overland

Greece, and Kasey Hernandez
from Garden City, who will be
studying in Taiwan. Juniors
Amber Norris from Wichita,
Rachel Trottier from Wichita
and Valencia Johnson from
Dallas, and senior Der Lee
from Hutchinson also received
the Gilman Scholarship.
Norris is traveling to
Argentina to study Spanish
and better her language skills.
Trottier will travel to London
and plans on interning in the
music industry.
“Winning the scholarship
has allowed me to be a lot
more excited about studying
abroad instead of just stressing
about the cost of the program,”
Trottier said. “Without it I
might not have been able to go

Johnson is majoring in
history and American
studies at the University and
plans on interning at the St.
Patrick’s Cathedral in Ireland
where she will give tours.
She hopes to strengthen her
communication skills and
gain experience working in a
museum.

or most undergraduates,
those naïve cretins, the name
LinkedIn means nothing. But
for some of us upstanding adults,
how we use that social media-
based business website separates
us into successful, career-driven
wunderkinds and education majors.
I’ll throw you uninformed
screwballs a bone. LinkedIn is a
business networking site based on
the social media model. Businesses
and individuals create profiles to
sell themselves to colleagues and
customers alike. Think Facebook
with no quizzes and everyone’s a
little bit too polite all of the time.
For a student who fully expects his
fancy shmancy liberal arts degree to
be as useful as a paper hat, LinkedIn
never really crossed my mind. As far
as networking goes, most English
majors take the Ginsberg method:
flinging copies of your mediocre
poetry from the back of your bicycle
as you zoom through the city.
When I did hear the details
on LinkedIn I asked myself why
anyone would take the worst
parts of social media and mix
them with something even worse:
advertisement. But honestly, the
site makes sense. It reduces the
painful process of getting a job into
a manageable marketplace.
Applicants can shop themselves
en masse. Companies can curate
their requirements and image in real
time. People in the same field can
share tips, tricks and naughty jokes
in private messages.

your customers, associates and
stalkers in a finely tuned, curated
way are running out rapidly.
LinkedIn isn’t the perfect iteration
of such a service, but we’re in too
deep with it to turn back.
More than 200 million people use
LinkedIn. That’s most of America
if you cut out children and those
darn millennial slacker leeches. The
numbers alone are evidence of a
business phenomenon. Ignoring it is
tantamount to ripping up your tax
returns check.
Think about it. Advertisement,
branding and job searching are a
lot like the Matrix. It’s impossibly
difficult to bust into the scene, but
once you’re in, you’re golden. You
become the Neo of insurance sales
or artisan clog making.
Some claim that LinkedIn blurs
the line of social media and business
a little too much. As much as it
pains me to say this, I don’t think
that combining those two things has
been a problem. If anything, it made
them a bit more tolerable.
LinkedIn is less about content
and more about ease of access.
It standardizes and simplifies a
traditionally awkward process.
The business marketplace is
painfully antiquated. Getting a
job still requires you to sit and
blubber about your personal history
ach generation has a claim
to fame. We, the millennial
generation, are known to be
tech-savvy and constantly connected.
While social media may be all fun
and games, it also comes with its fair
share of risk.
In fear of being found by a college
admissions office, high school
seniors are fond of the name game
— a popular tactic that involves a
Facebook user changing their account
name. While this may provide
temporary comfort, it’s not that
simple to hide on social media. The
risk factor only grows with us.
As college students, we luckily
no longer worry about getting into
college, but rather what happens once
we leave. Securing a job requires
monitoring our photos, posts and all
of our actions on our various social
media accounts, which soon becomes
a bothersome task.
In an attempt to eliminate this
constant monitoring, LinkedIn
created its platform with the specific
intent of promoting a professional
version of who we are. The problem is
that, while we can create what may be
more suitable versions of ourselves, it
doesn’t mean that the other side, the
one we feared would hurt our chances
at college admission or a future job,
ceases to exist.
LinkedIn defines itself as a business-
oriented social networking service;
however, the idea of fusing the two
seems too contrasting. Can these two
aspects, professionalism and social
media, truly coincide?
LinkedIn seemingly struggles to
find a balance. When I first created
my LinkedIn page, the setup wasn’t
intuitive. I was uncertain what
features to add, what to skip and
what to include in order to properly

After hours spent perfecting my

ultimately concluded that my efforts
made little difference, if any at all.
Young people trying to use
LinkedIn fall prey to the generation
gap. I have found that the people
I would want to connect with in a
professional matter don’t use the site
because they are already secure in
their position and those who do use
the site are my peers that can’t offer
me much in terms of a job.
I can’t see a future employer
wanting to view a LinkedIn page that
essentially regurgitates what has
already been stated on a cover letter
and resume, though I can understand
a future employer wanting to view a
Facebook profile that depicts who a
person is off paper.
I think LinkedIn misses the mark
because it merely provides us with a
veil. Our social lives, and therefore
our social media accounts, should
reflect who we are or will be in our
professional lives.
Those who hire us aren’t looking to
connect with us — they’re looking to
critique us.

Students have chance
to recycle electronics
BRENDAN O’FARRELL
news@kansan.com
The City of Lawrence and
KU Recycling have teamed up
to host an Electronic Recycling
Event on Saturday, May 3 in
order to keep unused, obsolete
or old electronics off the curbs
and away from landfills. The
event is held from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. at KU Park and Ride’s East
Parking lot located at Clinton
Parkway and Crestline Drive.
“Instead of students leaving
their e-waste at the door as
they leave for summer, we
would rather them purge
their electronic waste at the
event,” said Manny Abarca,
the KU Recycling operations
coordinator. “This way the
electronics can be reused instead
of ending up in a landfill.”
Electronic equipment
often contains lead, mercury,
cadmium and other hazardous
materials that can be released
into the environment when
the equipment is decomposing
in a landfill. In significant
amounts, these chemicals
can then damage the local air
and water quality. Recycling

Botched execution offers
new evidence to attorneys
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A bungled
execution in Oklahoma
provides death penalty
opponents with a fresh,
startling example of how
lethal injections can go wrong.
But the odds of successfully
challenging the nation’s
main execution method will
probably hinge on exactly what
caused the apparent agony of
inmate Clayton Lockett.
If the four-time convicted
felon suffered because of a
collapsed vein or improperly
inserted IV, the legal landscape
might not change much.
If the drugs or the secrecy
surrounding them played a
role, defense attorneys for
other prisoners could have
powerful new evidence to
press the Supreme Court to get
involved, legal experts say.
A day after the execution
went awry, some attorneys
for death-row inmates began
planning new appeals or
updating existing cases based
on events in Oklahoma. Many
called for moratoriums and
independent investigations.
“Every prison is saying,
‘We have it under control,
trust us,’” said Texas attorney
Maurie Levin, who spent
Wednesday preparing new
briefs questioning that state’s
execution practices. “This just
underscores in bold that we
can’t trust them, and prisons
have to be accountable to the
public and transparent in the
method by which they carry
out executions.”
The 38-year-old Lockett,
convicted of shooting a
woman and watching as two
accomplices buried her alive,
was declared unconscious
10 minutes after the first of
three drugs was administered
Tuesday. Three minutes later,
he began breathing heavily,

Some of the items accepted
for recycling are computers,
monitors, printers, scanners,

audio and video equipment,
cellphones and small appliances.
However, hazardous wastes,
“
including fluorescent light bulbs
and large appliances are not

“While just one person throw-

have continued to show up for
these events and keep these
materials out of our landfills,”
said Kathy Richardson,
Lawrence’s waste reduction and
recycling operations supervisor.
“I think that says a lot about the
and straining to lift his head off
the pillow. Authorities halted
the execution, but Lockett died
of a heart attack more than
40 minutes after the process
began.
An autopsy was conducted
Wednesday to determine his
cause of death, and Oklahoma
Gov. Mary Fallin called for
an independent review of the
state’s execution protocols.
The White House said the

While most of the items

There is a $15 fee for CRT

a $35 fee for CRT televisions

“Electronic waste is currently

Abarca. “While just one person

residents can also recycle old
computers or computer parts

the Lawrence Recycling Event,
Goodwill isn’t responsible for
destroying the hard drives of
the computers, which causes a

the ability of a state to try to
execute a condemned inmate
by electrocution again after a
first attempt failed (1947) and
lethal injection (2008).
The Constitution “does not
demand the avoidance of all
risk of pain in carrying out
executions,” Chief Justice John
Roberts said in the court’s 2008
decision upholding Kentucky’s
lethal injection system.

Still, a minority of the high
court has shown some recent
trepidation about the secrecy
of the process used by many
states.
Many states — Oklahoma,
Texas and Missouri among
them — purchase execution
drugs from lightly regulated
compounding pharmacies and
refuse to name the supplier,
whether the drug has been
tested, even who is part of the
execution team.
In February, three justices
— two short of the required
five — said they would have
blocked the execution of
Michael Anthony Taylor in
Missouri. A month later, four
justices fell one vote short
of blocking the execution of
another Missouri inmate,
Jeffrey Ferguson. They offered
no explanation for their vote.

Kansas hopes to continue momentum at home

BEN FELDERSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
Having swept Baylor in Waco
and defeating Wichita State in
Wichita for the second time
in their mid-week matchups,
the Jayhawks are currently on
a four game winning streak.
Freshman right-hander Jon
Hander picked up his second
win of the season, going five
strong innings and allowing
only one run.
The Jayhawks got off to a
fast start, putting up four
runs in the first inning. Junior
designated hitter Dakota Smith
drove in three runs against the
Shockers. The Kansas bullpen
was strong, only allowing
two runs the rest of the way.
Freshman righty Stephen
Villines threw a perfect ninth.
The Jayhawks will open up a
three-game series this weekend
at Hoglund Park, while
hosting Texas Tech. Kansas has
improved its record to 27-20
on the season and is .500 in Big
12 play. Texas Tech is 11-7 in
the Big 12 conference, which
is third in the conference. The
Red Raiders are 36-13 on the
season. Texas Tech has won
four straight as well and eight
out of its last 10.
JAYHAWKS WILL WIN IF…
The Jayhawks will win if
their starting pitching is as
strong as it was last weekend.
Senior Jordan Piché won Big
12 Player of the Week honors
after he threw a complete
game shutout while giving up
just one hit. Piché walked only
two and struck out five. Junior
right-hander Robert Kahana
threw seven strong innings,
allowing only two runs with
one being earned. Junior Drew
Morovick came in and pitched
two shutout innings to close it
out. Senior right-hander Frank
Duncan threw 6.2 innings,
only allowing two earned runs.
Villines picked up his fifth
save of the season to clinch
the sweep. Kansas’ offense has
been stable all year, but it only
goes as far as its pitching.
JAYHAWKS WILL LOSE IF…
The Jayhawks will lose if they
allow Texas Tech batters to put
a bat on the ball. Texas Tech
is tied for the conference lead
with a .292 batting average.

Bucket hats are in.
When Myles Turner slipped
his burnt orange one on his
head, months of speculating
about what school Turner will
be playing for came to an end.
He picked Texas. His bow
tie and bucket hat made the
statement that he’ll stay home
and be a foe instead of friend
for Kansas.
Sure, it will impact Kansas
to have Turner, a 7-foot, blue-
chip freshman, playing against
the Jayhawks every year.
Here’s the big question: Does
it really matter?
Will it truly make any
difference at the end of the
year in the Big 12 standings?
History says no. History says
that Kansas will still finish the
year sitting on the lush throne
as Big 12 champions.
Eventually the streak
of 10 straight conference
championships will come
to an end. Odds are, Myles
Turner won’t be the sole
reason that day comes.

Remember back before
Andrew Wiggins? When
Kansas fans complained that
Bill Self was whiffing on top
recruits? When Le’Bryan Nash
put on a foam Cowboys hat
announcing his intentions to
play in Stillwater?
This is different. Wayne
Selden Jr., Perry Ellis, Cliff
Alexander and Kelly Oubre
will be as talented a bunch
as there is in the conference.
With Bill Self running the
show, Kansas will be fine.
In fact, it may be better off
without Turner. If he came
to Kansas, Self would once
again be faced with juggling
a talented and loaded front
court. It’s a good problem for
Self to have, but a problem
prove himself as a valuable
asset to the team. After all,
Self has said he won’t redshirt
a player if he doesn’t think it
will benefit the Jayhawks in
the future.
Players will have more
defined roles that they’ll
learn throughout the season
because Kansas won’t be quite
as deep as it’s been in recent
years. Different Jayhawks will
have to learn to play through
their mistakes, as Self won’t
have the liberty of pulling
them quickly if they mess up.

Sure, Turner would be a
good asset for Self to use. But
he’s not a necessary one. And

it really doesn’t matter that
much to Kansas next year.

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority STUDENTS

Leader Harry Reid says it’s time
for the NFL’s Washington Redskins

the issue to racist comments by
a professional basketball team
owner.
In a Senate speech Wednesday,
the Nevada Democrat said
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder
is hiding behind tradition in
retaining his team’s name, which
critics call racially offensive.
Reid called on Snyder “to do
what is morally right” by changing
the name. Reid has criticized
the name before, telling The
Washington Post in March that he
thinks it will be changed within
three years.
Reid said his state has 22 tribes
and that the only tradition behind
the Redskins’ name was one of
racism.

Rangers top Flyers in Game
7, advance to face Pens
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Daniel
Carcillo provided the burst of
energy the New York Rangers
were counting on in Game 7.
The big goal was quite a bonus.
Carcillo gave the Rangers
the lead with the first of their
two second-period goals,
and Henrik Lundqvist did
just enough to hold off the
Philadelphia Flyers and send
New York into the second
round of the Stanley Cup
playoffs with a 2-1 win on
Wednesday night.
Carcillo was added to the
lineup, after he sat out the
previous two games, and the
move paid instant dividends.
He turned a crisp pass into
his second goal of the series at
3:06 of the middle frame.
“When you’re in, you try
to do something to stay in,
whether it be offensively or
bring a lot of energy,” Carcillo
said. “That’s just what I was
trying to do every time I was
in this series.”
Benoit Pouliot stretched
the Rangers’ lead to 2-0, and
Lundqvist made it stand up
with a 26-save effort one night
after New York was beaten 5-2
in Philadelphia to set up the
decisive Game 7.
“No one was jittery. We all
knew what to do,” Carcillo
said. “On this team, no one
was shying away from the big
stage.”
Lundqvist watched the
third period of Game 6
from the bench, and started
his preparation then for
Wednesday.
“Coming home last night,
I was so disappointed,” said
Lundqvist, who improved to
4-1 in Game 7s. “But at the
same time, I was mad because
we couldn’t come up with a
better performance. To play a

Game 7 at home and to win,
that was the inspiration.
“We played a really strong
series. I think we were the
better team. We pushed the
pace almost every game. We
definitely earned this one.”
The Rangers knocked out
the Flyers about 24 hours after
being pushed to the limit,
improving to 6-0 in Game 7s
at Madison Square Garden.
New York will face another
Metropolitan Division rival,
the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the
next round starting on Friday.
Lundqvist allowed only a
third-period goal to Jason
Akeson at 4:32. He protected
the one-goal lead at 7:25 when
he made an awkward save
against Flyers captain Claude
Giroux.
The Rangers mobbed
Lundqvist after the final
buzzer, while the Flyers
consoled their goalie, Steve
Mason.
Mason, who didn’t start
until Game 4 because of a
concussion he admitted to
after the game Wednesday, was
sharp in stopping 31 shots. He
just couldn’t will his club to a
complete comeback after the
Flyers fell into a 3-2 series hole.
“Game 7, lose 2-1, it doesn’t
get any closer than that,”
Giroux said. “We did a good
job staying in the battle. We
have a lot of character in this
room, and for a young team
I think it’s great. This is only
going to make us stronger.”
No team won consecutive
games in the series. The
Rangers, who finished two
points ahead of Philadelphia
during the regular season,
made the most of their home-
ice advantage by taking three
of four in the Garden.
Carcillo scored the all-
important first goal off a
picture-perfect pass from Mats
to lower his ERA to 2.58.
Casey McGehee had three
hits and Adeiny Hechavarria
legged out a double and
a triple for the last-place
Marlins, who have outscored
the NL East leaders 18-3 in the
first two games of their series.
The Marlins will sweep a series
from Atlanta for the first time
since 2009 if they can beat
Ervin Santana on Thursday.
The Marlins are batting .307
in their spacious ballpark,
where they’re 11-4 to lead
the majors in home victories.
They’re batting .215 on the
road, where they’re 2-10.
The Braves totaled six hits,
including Justin Upton’s eighth
homer.
Harang had allowed a total
of three runs in his first five
starts, but the Marlins scored
four against him with four
Zuccarello.
Zuccarello threaded the
puck with a behind-the-
back feed from near the right
circle between the legs of
Flyers defensemen Andrew
MacDonald and Braydon
Coburn to Carcillo for the
redirection.
“Usually those are the
toughest ones to pick up.
I missed one in Game 4
backdoor,” Carcillo said. “To
track it through two sets of
legs and then to get decent
wood on it and see it go in, is a
good feeling.”
Carcillo played for just the
third time and the first at
home. He had come out of the
penalty box less than a minute
earlier after serving a penalty
for too many men on the ice.
The Rangers nearly doubled
the lead later in the frame
when they mounted a flurry of
pressure, only to be stymied by
Mason and done in by errant
whacks at the puck.
But Philadelphia couldn’t
capitalize on that or on two
power plays in the period in
which the Flyers were outshot
18-5.
“We didn’t initiate enough
and play with enough
aggressiveness as a team,”
Flyers coach Craig Berube
said. “Our game overall, we
didn’t play our best hockey.”
New York took a 2-0 lead
with 8:14 left in the second
when Pouliot also turned a
sharp pass into his second of
the series.
Derick Brassard sent the
puck from the right-wing
boards into the slot. Pouliot
streaked down the middle,
snared the puck, and steered it
past Mason to send the once-
nervous crowd into a towel-
waving frenzy.
consecutive hits to start the
second inning. Garrett Jones
singled home the first run,
and Ozuna followed with his
fourth homer.
Hechavarria tripled and
Yelich hit a two-run homer in
the fourth to make it 7-0.
The nine runs allowed by

HORSE RACING

Churchill Downs taking a bigger cut of wagers

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Before the Kentucky Derby
contenders sprint from the
starting gates, the crowd at
Churchill Downs will hand
over millions of dollars at
betting windows. Gamblers
lucky enough to pick the right
colts, thanks to homework or
hunches, will be getting a little
less back on those winning
tickets.
The famed track recently
announced that it will take
a bigger cut of the money
bettors place on its races. The
decision came after Kentucky
lawmakers rejected the racing
industry’s latest effort to add
slot machines to generate more
cash to boost prize money for
horse owners.
Churchill spokesman John
Asher said without the bigger
cut, the track would have had
to reduce the prize money for
winners of spring races and
some races would likely have
been cut altogether. Instead,
the track was able to increase
its stakes purses by 2.7 percent
to $7.68 million for the spring
races. The track hopes for a
domino effect — that higher
purses will lure more horses
for races, which in turn will
bring out more bettors long
after the Derby is run.
“If Churchill Downs is to
present a competitive racing
product, purses must be
strong enough to keep current
stables in the state and attract
new stables and horses to
the Kentucky racing circuit,” ASSOCIATED PRESS

“It is fair to say that
Churchill’s decision to raise
takeout is a bellwether of
how difficult things have
gotten for tracks without

Waldrop, president and CEO
of the National Thoroughbred
Racing Association and a past
president of the Churchill
Downs track.
Nationwide, the tradition-
steeped sport is still trying
to regain its footing after the
Great Recession. The industry
suffered declines in wagering,
foal crops, number of races
and auction prices for horses
during the downturn.
But some of Churchill’s
regular customers see the
track’s bigger takeout as a

Jayhawks gear up for
big meet in Manhattan
BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com
It’s that time of year.
With the Outdoor Big 12
Championships just two
weeks away, the excitement of
postseason track is starting to
resonate. Many Kansas athletes
are having a lot of success and
history could surely be made
in the conference and national
meets.
But there’s still one meet
separating Kansas from the
postseason. That meet is the
Ward Haylett Invitational,
which will take place this
Saturday, May 3, in Manhattan.
While it may be easy to look
past this weekend’s meet to the
conference championships,
according to coach Stanley
Redwine, the Jayhawks are
approaching the meet in
Manhattan just like any other.
“I look at this as another
meet…we try to take it one
meet at a time,” Redwine said.
“The major goal is just for us to
compete [this weekend].”
But while Redwine is
making sure his team stays
focused on this weekend, he
acknowledges that the Ward
Haylett Invitational will be an
important time for his athletes
to sharpen their skills for the
upcoming Big 12 meet.
“We are starting to peak at
the right time and that’s why
we are finalizing some things
this weekend to get ready to
go for [the conference] meet,”
Redwine said.
One of these Kansas athletes
who has been exceptional
down the stretch is junior
Michael Stigler, who once
again took a first-place finish
in the 400-meter hurdles last
weekend at the Drake Relays,
running an impressive 49.47.
This performance not only
allowed Stigler to remain
undefeated this outdoor season
in the 400-meter hurdles,
but it gave him another elite
time in the event, as he now
owns the two top times in the
NCAA this season. Stigler’s
dominance has gained him
some recognition across the
conference, as he received his
second-consecutive Big 12
Athlete of the Week honor this
week.
“I think he’s been doing an
awesome job all year,” Redwine
said. “To carry his success from
the indoor season outdoors
has been phenomenal.”
While Stigler will be in
action this weekend, he will


THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2014
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
not be competing in his
specialty race: the 400-meter
hurdles. Instead, he will run
the 100-meter hurdles as a way
to gear up for the conference
meet.
Because the Ward Haylett
is only a one-day meet that
has just three other schools
competing, it may be a
refreshing change of pace for
the Jayhawks, who are coming
off two straight weekends of
grueling, competitive four-day
meets in the Kansas Relays and
Drake Relays. Although they
still want to have success this
Saturday, the Jayhawks will
hopefully leave Manhattan less
taxed and exhausted than they
have been, giving them plenty
of time to rest up before the
postseason begins.
Action from R.V. Christian
Track will begin around 9:30
a.m. Saturday, May 3, with the
women’s javelin throw and will
finish up at the conclusion of
the men’s and women’s 4x400-
meter relays, which are slotted
to begin around 5:50 p.m. on
Saturday.

sweep, defeat Brewers 9-3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Allen Craig

that included three RBIs,
and Matt Adams hit a three-
run homer as the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 9-3 Wednesday.
Jon Jay had three hits and a

a three-game sweep by the
team with the best record in
the major leagues.
Shelby Miller (3-2) worked

allowing three runs and six
hits in six-plus innings.
Milwaukee is 20-8, a
franchise record for wins
through the season’s first full
first month.
Matt Garza (1-3) joined the
lengthy list of injured Brewers

ninth.
It was 50 degrees at game

Matt Holliday’s RBI single

RBI doubles by Miller and Jay

The four-hit game matched
Craig’s career best. He had
seven hits in the series,
including two homers, lifting
his average to .220.
Miller allowed three runs

innings, but no runs on one
hit and three walks the rest

Memphis Grizzlies hold off OKC Thunder 100-99 in OT

OKLAHOMA CITY — It

Thunder.
With 2.9 seconds remaining
in overtime, Oklahoma City’s

underdogs. It’s what we do.”
Before the final overtime
sequence, Durant made
the first of two free throws
with 27.5 seconds left to cut
Oklahoma City’s deficit to
100-99. Before his second shot,
referee Joey Crawford took the
rebounds and Conley added
17 points for the Grizzlies.
Russell Westbrook had
30 points, 13 assists and 10

he made just 10 of 31 shots

Moments later, Crawford was

After the delay, Durant, an

“I’m not sure what happened,

Durant said.
